Mark looks at the issue of slavery in Roman times and what it would have looked like with slaves and their master in the same church.He looks at the different " stories " under which slaves could live and how the story they chose would affect their work and their lives.

We kick off our new series on how people worship in different ways by looking at people who use their senses to reach God - sensates. Mark discusses and illustrates this with examples, but warns us that it can be taken too far, into the realms of "sensationalism". He then goes on to discuss the transcendent and the imminent - the There and the Here, and suggests that Christianity is unique in having both, where other faiths focus just on the Here.

Mark asks himself the question "Why am I a Christian and not an atheist?" He discusses how a number of other belief "stories" exist but they cannot match the evidential and human aspects of Christianity.
